Project Summary – Research Development Core The overarching goal of the Research Development Core (RDC) of the UAB Nathan Shock Center (NSC) is to support impactful research in the basic biology of aging related to the NSC theme of “Comparative Energetics and Aging.” We will achieve this goal by addressing the following specific aims. 1. Maintain a nationally competitive pilot award program focused on the comparative biology of and energetics and aging to: a. Support expertly reviewed pilot studies. b. Provide an avenue to support earlier-phase studies via an expedited “exploratory studies” funding mechanism. c. Facilitate interactions between potential applicants and leaders of UAB NSC Research Cores. 2. Solicit applications locally and nationally through interaction with UAB partners and the NSC Coordinating Center, choose projects for funding, and monitor progress of projects: a. Oversee a rigorous review process for selection of funded projects. b. Monitor outcomes (publications and grants) of funded studies. 3. Support the education and development of junior investigators by: a. Developing and maintaining an interdisciplinary pool of scientific mentors committed to guiding junior investigators to independence in the field of the biology of aging. b. Organizing a journal club on Center-related topics; promoting nascent project meetings for brainstorming feedback, and networking; and offering a series of “boot camp” sessions (i.e., F to K, K to R, etc.). c. Facilitate junior investigator development as well as collaboration with other NSCs via development of a mock study section meeting open to junior investigators across the NSC network. d. Support conduct of the nationally advertised annual UAB integrated aging symposium. The RDC will capitalize upon the UAB NSC Research Cores as well as established collaborations with entities on the UAB campus and throughout the nation – including with other NSCs. The Core activities will support the continued development of outstanding science in the biology of energetics and aging with particular emphasis on developing the next generation of independent scientists.

项目摘要——研究开发核心 UAB 内森休克中心 (NSC) 的研究开发核心 (RDC) 的总体目标是 支持与 NSC 主题“比较能量学”相关的衰老基础生物学的有影响力的研究 我们将通过解决以下具体目标来实现这一目标。 1. 维持一个以比较生物学和能量学为重点的国家竞争性试点奖励计划 并老化至： a. 支持经过专家审查的试点研究。 b. 通过快速“探索性研究”资金提供支持早期研究的途径 机制。 c. 促进潜在申请人和 UAB NSC 研究核心领导者之间的互动。 2. 通过与 UAB 合作伙伴和 NSC 协调机构的互动，在当地和全国范围内征求申请 中心、选择资助项目、监控项目进展： a. 监督资助项目选择的严格审查过程。 b. 监控资助研究的成果（出版物和资助）。 3. 通过以下方式支持初级研究者的教育和发展： a. 发展和维护致力于指导初级学生的跨学科科学导师库 研究人员在衰老生物学领域的独立性。 b. 组织中心相关主题的期刊俱乐部；促进新项目集思广益。 反馈和网络；并提供一系列“训练营”课程（即从 F 到 K、从 K 到 R 等）。 c. 通过开发促进初级研究者的发展以及与其他 NSC 的合作 模拟研究部分会议向 NSC 网络中的初级研究人员开放。 d. 支持举办全国宣传的年度 UAB 综合老龄化研讨会。 RDC 将利用 UAB NSC 研究核心以及与实体建立的合作关系 在 UAB 校园和全国范围内，包括与其他 NSC 的合作，核心活动将支持 持续发展能量学和衰老生物学领域的杰出科学，特别强调 培养下一代独立科学家。
